Motivational Quotes (1)

In keeping in line with the Pursuit, Capture and then the Care and Feeding of a Positive Mental Attitude; is the repetition of meaningful and positive statements. Motivational quotes, for many, fill that bill. Following is the first in a series of motivational quotes. Take the ones that feel right and repeat them to yourselves regularly and with passion.
